You’ll learn how to work with the basic scuba equipment, and then enjoy an exploratory swim – under close instructor supervision – at a local dive site. If you like it, you can upgrade your DSD to a full Open Water course.

You also have the option of doing your DSD in a swimming pool, or doing a session in the pool followed by a sea dive.

Are you visiting Cape Town on holiday? Consider adding a DSD to your list of “things to do”. You won’t regret it!

Includes: gear rental and use of learning materials
